Privacy Policy

Richard H. Belanger, CPA, P.C. Privacy Policy
As a result of the enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act”) and pursuant to the regulations promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission with respect to the Act (the “Regulations”), all providers of personal financial services, including CPAs, are now required by law to inform their clients of their policies regarding the privacy of client financial information. CPAs have been and continue to be bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by the Act and the Regulations. Therefore, we have always and will continue to protect your right to privacy.

Types of Nonpublic Personal Information We Collect
We collect nonpublic personal information about you that is provided to us, by you, or obtained by us, with your authorization.

Parties to Whom We Disclose Information
For current and former clients, we do not disclose any nonpublic personal information obtained in the course of our practice except as required or permitted by law. Permitted disclosures include, for instance, providing information to our employees, and in limited situations, to unrelated third parties who need to know that information to assist us in providing services to you. In all such situations, we stress the confidential nature of information being shared.

Protecting the Confidentiality and Security of Current and Former Clients’ Information
We retain records relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able to assist you with your professional needs, and in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. In order to guard your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards.

Please call if you have any questions, because your privacy, our professional ethics, and the ability to provide you with quality financial services are very important to us.

This notice is being provided to you as required by federal law and at our cost.
